Give me quotes or give me death!

All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing.
Maurice Maeterlinck

 

When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free. ~ Catherine Ponder



To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you. ~ Lewis B. Smedes



Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit. ~ Peter Ustinov



Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it. ~ Mark Twain



The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing. ~ George Bernard Shaw



Let us forgive each other - only then will we live in peace. ~ Leo Nikolaevich



We are all full of weakness and errors; let us mutually pardon each other our follies. ~ Voltaire



The offender never pardons. ~ George Herbert



Without deep humility, true forgiveness is impossible?and will never happen. ~ Martha Kilpatrick

 

"Get your ass back over here! I'm not done cursing at you!"

- Mike Smith, Atlanta Falcons Head Coach, to a ref at the Carolina Game.

 

It seemed like this was one big Prozac nation, one big mess of malaise. Perhaps the next time half a million people gather for a protest march on the White House green it will not be for abortion rights or gay liberation, but because we're all so bummed out. ~ Elizabeth Wurtzel From Book Prozac Nation



I start to feel like I can't maintain the facade any longer, that I may just start to show through. And I wish I knew what was wrong. Maybe something about how stupid my whole life is. I don't know. Why does the rest of the world put up with the hypocrisy, the need to put a happy face on sorrow, the need to keep on keeping on?... I don't know the answer, I know only that I can't. I don't want any more vicissitudes, I don't want any more of this try, try again stuff. I just want out. I've had it. I am so tired. I am twenty and I am already exhausted. ~ Elizabeth Wurtzel From Book Prozac Nation



In a strange way, I had fallen in love with my depression. Dr. Sterling was right about that. I loved it because I thought it was all I had. I thought depression was the part of my character that made me worthwhile. I thought so little of myself, felt that I had such scant offerings to give to the world, that the one thing that justified my existence at all was my agony. ~ Elizabeth Wurtzel From Book Prozac Nation



I have studiously tried to avoid ever using the word 'madness' to describe my condition. Now and again, the word slips out, but I hate it. 'Madness' is too glamorous a term to convey what happens to most people who are losing their minds. That word is too exciting, too literary, too interesting in its connotations, to convey the boredom, the slowness, the dreariness, the dampness of depression. ~ Elizabeth Wurtzel From Book Prozac Nation



I'm the girl who is lost in space, the girl who is disappearing always, forever fading away and receding farther and farther into the background. Just like the Cheshire cat, someday I will suddenly leave, but the artificial warmth of my smile, that phony, clownish curve, the kind you see on miserably sad people and villains in Disney movies, will remain behind as an ironic remnant. I am the girl you see in the photograph from some party someplace or some picnic in the park, the one who is in fact soon to be gone. When you look at the picture again, I want to assure you, I will no longer be there. I will be erased from history, like a traitor in the Soviet Union. Because with every day that goes by, I feel myself becoming more and more invisible... ~ Elizabeth Wurtzel From Book Prozac Nation



Insanity is knowing that what you're doing is completely idiotic, but still, somehow, you just can't stop it. ~ Elizabeth Wurtzel From Book Prozac Nation



That's the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it's impossible to ever see the end. The fog is like a cage without a key. ~ Elizabeth Wurtzel From Book Prozac Nation



I feel ya sis ~ wez from thoughts of a Zoloft nation

Illegal aliens have always been a problem in the United States. Ask any Indian ~ Robert Orben



For the American Indian, the ability of all creatures to share in the process of ongoing creation makes all things sacred ~ Paula Gunn Allen



The writers of the Indian philosophies will survive, when the British dominion in India shall long have ceased to exist, and when the sources which it yielded of wealth and power are lost to remembrances ~ Warren Hastings



Grown men can learn from very little children for the hearts of the little children are pure. Therefore, the great spirit may show to them many things which the older people miss ~ Black Elk



I am tired of fighting... from where the Sun now stands, I will fight no more ~ Chief Joseph



When the white man discovered this country the Indians were running it. No taxes, no debt, women did all the work. White man thought he could improve on a system like this ~ Old Cherokee saying

Anything attributed to Samuel Adams is pure gold.

 

Patrick Henry, too!

"Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"

"The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them. "

"Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense?"

- Patrick Henry

--- Our dear President-elect Messiah Obama would never rip-off quotes from our Founding Fathers. Why? Too many of them concern liberty, freedom, choice, independence, and self reliance. Not on his upcoming agenda.

 

President-elect Messiah Obama's brand of freedom sure as hell can't be any worse than Lip-Service Jorge Bush's police state brand of freedom. ~ wez
